Warning: Spoilers

Dear Sam,

What the hell?! The thing with the kid was complete bullshit that has me raging even as I write this. How could you Spoiler ) WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?!

And then at the end, being nonchalant about it all. Last week, you were cool about taking a baby shapeshifter to the Campbells, who were all like, "We'll raise it as our own :D" despite Dean's distrust of them and his protests. This week, you're completely fine with causing a human child harm. Fuck that noise. I don't trust you, and I hope this is either (a) bad writing or (b) Lucifer still riding your ass.

Fuck you.

....

Dear Cas,

You little shit.

....

Dear Dean,

Could you at least have done more than SPOILER )

Thanks for calling out Sam on his bullshit at the end, but, really, that's not enough to soothe my rage.

When did you become the moral compass of the show?

....

Dear Writers,

Fuck you all. I'm pissed about the thing with the boy. Not even Cas's snarky exchange with the Winchesters and the incredibly slashy implication behind his mysterious bond with Dean or his encounter with Balthazar made up for this.

Argh!

No love for any of you,

Liz

Yeah, I'm only focusing on one part of the episode, but it really affected the rest of my viewing experience. I can't write about this episode without addressing it, because it's a huge, glaring fail.

Glee had me bawling this week at least twice.

Thar be spoilers )

It's tiring to write an episode summary like this :/

Seriously, it was a great episode. I cried on account of both Sue and Kurt. I felt that the message wasn't so much, "Believe in God!" as "Believe in SOMETHING, even if it's your relationship with your parents." I'm Agnostic, so my belief in a supreme being is undecided. Personally, I don't know if God exists or if we're even supposed to know; what matters is how you live your life. I do have faith, however. It's not in God or a messianic figure; it's in the spirit of an individual to overcome. As an Agnostic, I usually get hit with the misconception that I don't believe in anything (people group us with Atheists), so I was really happy that Glee didn't go this route.

I was also glad that they're bringing back Sue's sister. I know that she serves as a vehicle for Sue's realizations and changes of heart, but I could see where they're really trying to make her a character that stands on her own. I love how she insisted that Sue was letting her win, until Sue admitted that she was. It subtly calls Sue out for treating her sister like she's a child. The show did the same thing with Becky - the Cheerio who has Down Syndrome, too - in the season premiere by letting her have this amusing commentary on Finn's tryout for Cheerios and how he was "embarrassing himself." I feel that the writers are starting to treat people with disabilities with more dignity and respect than they have been before, by letting certain characters be more than just caricatures of society's interpretations.

I could be wrong, of course.

What I didn't appreciate about the show as how the club was forcing their religions onto Kurt - especially Rachel, Mercedes, and Quinn. It's alright for them to have religious faith, but it's not right for their characters to make the assumptions that Kurt has to be warm and understanding and open to their religious assistance, while they completely ignore his wish to not have their faith pressed upon him and don't respect his choice not to believe in God. A good example is the hospital scene: Their intentions were good, but at the same time, they were being disrespectful and audacious.

Kurt's accepting Mercedes invitation to go to church was a stretch of the imagination, and I like to think that he was more touched by the communal feeling of so many people caring about his father, despite never having met him. I'm so happy that the episode didn't end with him having a religious conversion, because that would have cheapened the whole episodes; and that it ends Spoiler ).

Glee needs to have more episodes that aren't about Rachel and her unbelievable relationship with Finn, or about Will being creepy. (Will is seriously turning into a creeper; last week's Britney Spears episode made me D: over how he was acting towards Emma)

Also, does anybody else find it amusing/sad/very telling that Puck spoiler )
